Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Glorious warmth... picture perfect fall day... colors on the trees in the Big Apple simply stunning... reds and golds adorn the branches like cloaks on royalty. Sitting on the deck... no jackets required... sipping coffee with the hubs... planning out the day... soaking it in before early winter grips the northeast in the coming weeks. The squirrels 🐿 and birds 🦅 planning their cold storage... fattening up... the neighbors humongous pumpkin mostly devoured by millions of tiny bites... all of earths creatures readying for the season ahead.
Visited Mom this afternoon... bringing her weekly groceries... sliding glass doors wide open welcoming in the fresh air and sunshine... her apartment view from 11 floors up over the autumnal landscape vibrant in the waning sunlight... Mom’s elevated mood a sight to behold. Smiling and greeting us... “Everthing will be all right now” she remarked. We socialized for a couple of hours as her sweet aide prepared their dinner.
Our own meal a casserole of tuna, noodles, cream of mushroom soup, fresh broccoli... Aleppo pepper and smoked paprika... covered with a thin layer of grated Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs... homey and comforting. My very first recipe in 8th grade HomeEc spruced up with broccoli and a poke of smokey heat. We needed something homemade after yesterday’s midnight night snack following our 4pm brunch celebration.
The pandemic rages on uncontrolled as over 100,000 folks per day are diagnosed. Please take care of yourselves... masks on... limit social interactions... and wash those germy hands!
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
